Quarter 2: Assignment 1

Karl Marx (K. Gammino)
To many, Europe's Industrial Revolution benefitted most people in a positive way. Being a person with communistic views, I believe that everybody is eternally equal. The Industrial Revolution most definetley did benefit Europe technologically. At this time, the working class was indeed working. Citizens of Europe were working long, hard hours in dangerous environments. While they are risking their lives, at the same time they are fighting to keep their families alive. The class system at the time consisted of classes, factory and mill owners and everyone else. As the pyramid went down, so did the quality of life. The proletariat, or working class, will be triumphant. Workers will take control of production and set up a classless system. After this, wealth and power will be shared among all class lines! If the industrial revolution positively impacted all class lines, how come workers are still not being recognized for their hard, dangerous work? While workers are busy putting their lives at risk, owners of factories and mills are not contributing to the work. People of Europe need ultimate change. In this day in age, if you own a company, you are above all. The Industrial Revolution did not benefit ALL people of Europe in a positive way.
